FORENSIC CASEBOOK, May 2014 EC&M

[don_resqcapt19]

If you have read the Forensic Casebook article in the May edition of EC&M, do you think that the bonding requirements that are found in the CSST manufacturer's instructions and in the current edition of NFPA 54, The Fuel Gas Code, would have prevented this fire?

You can read the article here, but you have to register to read it.

I do not believe bonding would have helped in this scenario.

I saw that article and no I don't think extra bonding would have made any difference at all.

For a long time now, I have been of the opinion that whenever I read Forensic articles from forensic engineers in ECM Magazine that it is time to slip on the rubber boots . Just drive another ground rod or two and all the problems go away........


Anybody remember the single strand of a ground wire not secured in the ground busbar being the cause of a ''power quality'' problem in a large facility some ten to twenty years ago in that magazine ?

Yea I do. I was sitting in the lobby at the DMV waiting to take my driver's test.
